Nespresso OriginalLine machines have a grid plate inside that breaks the foil of the pods. Over time, coffee grounds can build up on this grid plate which can cause blockages and lead to extraction issues.
Cleaning it is simple – you'll just need an old toothbrush and some soapy water. Watch the video above or follow these simple steps:
- First, open the lever
- Use soapy water and a toothbrush to scrub the grid plate
- Close the lever
- Place a jug where you'd usually put your coffee mug
- Press the long shot button to rinse the machine
- Repeat until the water runs clear
- The machine is now ready to use
You can prevent extraction issues by cleaning the grid plate regularly. Staying on top of this will extend your machine’s lifespan and make your coffee taste even better!
